basically with the 5000 yes, but maybe not quite as bad as the mz operationally, I seem to remember. but you still need the external sequencer.
what they did with the kn6000 was give an auto chord/pad to smf conversion facility. this played the sequence in real time back into the sequencer with all auto accomp and pad tracks converted to midi tracks with individual note data.
it works well, the only problem is that you have to fiddle with gm voices and controllers to get the midi file to sound anywhere near as good as the original easy play sequence with the technics voices.
